Has anyone see or knows anything about the remington rifle that has the modified mauser action. I havve not seen any writeups on it. What is your opinion?

Search the forums for "Zastava" and "Charles Daly". They are the same rifle Remington is now selling.

I've held two in my hands. Metal to wood fit was extremely poor. Remington has selfinflicted wounds again.

For us here in Europe, CZ and Zastava is quite familiar for many hunters. Everyone says a CZ (or a BRNO as they were formerly called) is a really rugged piece of tool but after a little polishing on both metal and wood they are quality guns for life.
Zastava is a little of the same but the bad parts of CZ is even worse in a Zastava.

Why Remington have chosen Zastava for their "branded" Remington must have been a choice made by a dude in their economical department. That guy would be more suited as a manager in a McDonalds hamburger bar located 500 miles east of New Foundland.

Why the heck can't Remington make their own M98 version? Don't they have the skills any more?

Nope, they are in the business of selling cheap firearms and cheaply made at that.

these are the Zastava mauser 98s
as sold by
whitwork
intermarms mark x
charles daly
and unknown others

no more, no less

the STOCKS, however, who knows who is making them.

it is not a "modified" mauser action, rather a rather true 98, and of the few still available
